92 – There are many ways to eat steamed food
York Tower.
A huge tower that passes through the North Carolines and spans the Virgin region.
A huge fortress centered around this.
It is an impregnable defense base surrounded by coastlines and mountains on all sides except for the front entrance.
At the same time, this place was equipped with a space large enough to accommodate a large army, giving the defense an excessively one-sided advantage.
And at this moment.
A deep smile began to appear on General Cornwells’ lips.
“That’s great. “Now all that’s left is to block their attack here and then continue to advance!”
The total number of imperial troops gathered here is 40,000.
It was an enormous army, the largest in colonial history, and at the same time, they were all trained elite troops, not militia.
In the unlikely event that they were destroyed, it would have been almost impossible for the British Empire to reassemble such a large force, and in that case, it was safe to say that the colonial war would in fact end in a victory for the rebels.
However, this is only possible.
In fact, in the current situation, General Cornwalls was not even thinking about his own defeat.
It had an overwhelmingly advantageous defense base, and at the same time, its troops were equal or rather superior.
In addition, military supplies were piled up in abundance, and the morale of the soldiers seemed to be sky-high due to successive victories.
They seemed to have the advantage in every way,
General Cornwalls thought that the only thing left to do was to drive the large army inside the fortress and defeat them at the moment when they collapsed from exhaustion after launching an unreasonable attack on this place.
‘The only variable is if the navy coming here is defeated. That would be highly unlikely. The Imperial Navy is the world’s strongest. There is no way they could possibly lose!’
Confident of his victory, General Cornwalls strengthened his resolve as he looked at the rebel army and the allied forces of the Kingdom of Franz, who were spread out like ants on the plain in front of the fortress.
‘Well, come here now, you’ve been annoying me by crawling around like a mosquito… Now, I will definitely make this place your grave!’
*
York Tower fortress visible before your eyes.
I had seen it once in the original, but
Looking at it like this, I was slightly amazed as I took in the truly magnificent sight of the place.
‘It looks like a scene from a movie…’ The presentation in the game was not normal, but seeing it in real life like this definitely gave me the feeling that it was at a loss.’
A fortress surrounded by strong walls, mountains, and the sea.
This is a place that could not be more reassuring from a defensive standpoint, but it places an even greater burden on those who have to attack.
However, if we could occupy that place and wipe out the imperial army, we could literally end everything, so this project had to succeed.
In addition, it was also instructed in the quest.
[You turned your back on the empire and became a representative general of the rebel army.
We won an important battlefield.
Made the Mok tribe into allies,
We even succeeded in gathering the main force of the empire right before our eyes.
*Quest Objectives:
Drive the imperial army completely out of this land.
Establish God’s nation on this earth and rise above it.
*Quest Reward: God’s Protection (Permanent)]
It’s the end, but at the same time, it’s a quest that makes you feel that it’s not the end.
Looking at the content, I thought for a moment about this battle and what happened after.
From Noble mtl dot com
At that time,
The publican who was watching York Tower next to me opened his mouth in a quiet voice.
“I never thought I would come here like this.”
“Huh? “Do you know this place?”
“That’s right. The tower located in the center was built by the ancestors of our Mok people. I heard it was a sign indicating the end of the world, but I don’t know the details. Anyway, I heard that there is a special magic there and that it cannot be destroyed with ordinary attacks.”
“I see… “
Since objects such as walls cannot be destroyed in the game, there was no need to worry about that.
However, now that it has become a reality, an indestructible wall is inevitably annoying in many ways to the attacker.
From my perspective, who has only played defense so far,
Also, from my perspective, I didn’t feel the need to do that again, so it wasn’t something that touched me that much.
“Uhm… In the end, this means that the only way is to climb over the castle wall or break down the castle gate… Is it possible? I heard there are more enemies than us…. Besides, there is a high possibility that bringing in an army of angels like last time won’t work.”
Jane’s words speak with concern.
Indeed, as she said, unlike in the past, the imperial army there consisted mostly of regular troops, not militia.
Above all, unless the enemies are fools, they would have already thoroughly prepared for the tactics I once used.
Even if angels were summoned on a large scale, it was highly unlikely that the same chaos could be expected.
‘Certainly, it’s not a situation where you can use as much force as you did back then… ‘
Thanks to the God’s protection buff, he was able to lead the angels into battle and show off his fighting skills.
However, now that the effect of the buff has been reduced to less than half,
Even if it was possible to summon angels, I had no choice but to collapse from exhaustion before leading them into battle.
Although it is possible to summon angels to some extent, it is impossible to perform as spectacularly as before.
In any case, now that the ability that was close to cheating was sealed, I had no choice but to think of another way.
“Yes, a direct confrontation would definitely be impossible.”
“Then how…?” “
“There is a way. To catch a tiger… No, you don’t have to stick your head into the lion’s den to catch the lion.”
“Yes?…”
Jane questions my words.
Looking at her, I gave her a light smile and spoke in her calm voice.
“There is no need to do something foolish. Just relax and watch and you will understand.”
“Ah… all right.”
Of course, I didn’t even think about letting the enemy lead the situation to their liking.
The very reason they were gathered in one place in the first place was to wipe them out cleanly.
General Cornwalls may have been planning to gather his troops and engage in a battle of souls, but he had no plans from the beginning to force us to attack as he had intended and to do anything that would reveal a gap.
‘York Tower… It certainly looks pretty perfect, but surprisingly there are a lot of gaps. Especially if a large army is gathered in one place… ‘
Thanks to the quests I completed in the game, I already knew the vulnerabilities there.
Of course, it was impossible to end the battle without damage as their power was not average, but it was not that difficult to achieve victory if you took advantage of the enemy’s weaknesses.
“Okay then, let’s leave this and go back. “I have to get ready soon.”
“I understand, master.”
“Yes, Captain Cromwell.”
*
“… That’s strange. “What on earth are you doing?”
“That’s right. “It seemed like they were going to attack at any moment, but they have been quiet for the past few days.”
The rebels maintained a sharp atmosphere by frequently moving troops, but did not attempt any direct attacks.
Feeling doubtful about that fact, General Cornwalls began to become irritated.
Still, I tried several small-scale attacks just in case.
However, the enemy’s defenses were extremely strong, and the troops who made the sortie had no choice but to retreat after suffering only heavy losses.
‘This is frustrating…’ It’s not like they’re attacking coolly, but they’re not showing any loopholes… ‘
It occurred to me that they were just waiting for food to run out, but General Cornwells could only snort at that.
The food stored here was enough to sustain a large army for half a year.
In addition, if time passed and the navy arrived, they would be able to attack and annihilate them.
‘Well.. I don’t like it a little, but this isn’t a bad situation either. Anyway, once the navy arrives, it won’t be too late to push them out. For now, all we have to do is be patient and wait.’
Exercising his patience in such an unfavorable situation, General Cornwells waited for our troops to appear from the sea.
At that time…
“Now… General!”
“… “What’s going on?”
The manager runs into the room with an urgent voice.
General Cornwalls looked at him with doubt.
“What’s going on? Are you saying the enemies are going to come in?”
“That…. That is… “
The manager speaks in a hesitant voice.
He then spoke to General Cornwalls in a voice filled with deep concern.
And.
“… What…. What?”
